Adjusting The Deck-Lift Spring; Replacing The Grass Deflector - Toro GrandStand TURBO FORCE 74513 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Deck-Lift
Spring
Note:
Adjusting the compression spring alters how
much the deck floats and the amount of effort needed
to lift the deck when using the height-of-cut lever.
•
More spring compression reduces the lever lift
force required and causes the deck to float more.
•
Less spring compression increases the lever lift
force required and causes the deck to float less.
1. Raise the height-of-cut lever and lock it into the
transport position.
2. Check the distance between the spring nut
and the rear side of the welded mount bracket
(Figure 84).
3. Ensure that the length is between 47 to 50 mm
(1.8 to 2 inches)
4. If needed, adjust the distance by adjusting the
bolt on the front of the mount bracket
